How long for childs blood test results possible leukemia

[Witchesbelazy]

How long would you expect to wait for blood test results of a full blood count to try and rule out leukemia in a child if all day (tests done early morning) has passed since with no notification of anything untoward?
Thanks

I know of one person who did the blood, and arrived home to find an ambulance waiting, but I wouldn't expect it to be generally that quick.

When ds was tested for it, then we had an appointment with the paediatrician 3 days later (it wasn't). I suspect if it had been then they'd have moved the appointment earlier.

Not leukaemia, but I had blood tests done one morning, and got the results the next day, so 24 hours for blood tests done at gp surgery.

Hours possibly 24 if taken at GPs.

Thanks
It was at the hospital

At my hospital they are back within a few hours. If the suspect leukaemia, they’ll be all over it with results. Fingers crossed

Did the blood test mid morning, they knew he had leukaemia by the afternoon.

Within the day normally (I've had it twice)

My husband has Leukaemia and got a call within two hours of having bloods taken telling him to get to hospital. Good xx

We had bloods taken in A&E at 9am and results an hour later (all clear thank god)

Bloods taken at out local hospital at 1pm. Results start trickling into my patients know best app by evening.

Hospital - hours / same day
GP - a day or so

Within a day at hospital, treatment started shortly after. Best of luck x

Fingers crossed it will be all clear - I’m my experience it’s been bloody fast (on the same day) when leukaemia has been spotted.

A few hours

Sending positive vibes for your child, OP

Our experience with a parent - an hour.

A full blood count only takes about an hour. Hope everything goes well for you

(((HUG)))

I would have expected to hear by now if it was lukemia, I would hope no news is good news.

best wishes

Generally v quick if it's bad news. Not a child but my dad had bloods done and a call 3 hours later to confirm leukaemia and get him in next day. Same a friends relative, 3yo and a call within hours when it was leukaemia, others a day or so to say it wasn't.

Posted too soon!

I hope it's good news for you, and handhold in the meantime x

Similar to others, I know 2 children this has happened to recently and they both had it confirmed within a matter of hours that it was leukemia.

You would’ve heard a by the afternoon. It’s not leukaemia.

Quickly...a couple of hours at the most....when my daughter was diagnosed

Within 24 hours

Extremely quickly usually. In these cases, it really is ‘no news is good news’ normally.
